Everything’s Coming Up… Chevron! {an Action Baby Carriers Review}

If you haven’t noticed the chevron trend, well, you must be living under a rock. It seems like chevron is popping up everywhere this Fall! The print has been “in” for about 2 years now and you’ll see the zig zag pattern in just about every product you encounter!

Our Action Baby Carrier that we were sent to review! First, let me tell you that Andrea, the lovely lady behind Action Baby Carriers, asked if I liked Chevron or Elephants. I picked Chevron, of course! But then when I saw all the new prints, I was smitten with all of them!

Action Baby Carriers boasts two type of carriers – their Regular ABC and a Toddler version. The only differences are that the Toddler Carrier’s body panel comes up 3 inches higher. Honestly, I’ve never really worried about how high the back panel is on a carrier, once Moreaya got enough head and neck control to hold herself up. So, why does a taller panel matter?

It has to be the reason that this carrier feels so streamline, slim, and comfortable for me. Honestly, it’s probably the slimmest carrier I own, when I’m wearing Moreaya both front and back.

And I really think it’s because of the taller panel! I feel absolutely no pressure or strain on my back or shoulders when I’m wearing her in it.

There are a few other specifics that I love about this carrier, besides the fabulous chevron print. The shoulder straps and waist are very thickly padded. They feel even more padded than some other carriers in our stash, which adds to the comfort. I also love the fact that the shoulder straps aren’t sewn on the carrier on both sides. They attach to the panel by another clip, which makes it possible to criss cross the straps for an even more comfortable fit.

The hood on this carrier is amazing as well. Now that Moreaya is bigger, she still fits in a couple other SSC’s that we have, but if she’s sleeping, I can’t seem to get her head supported well. Take a look at this attached hood on the Action Baby Carrier…

I don’t think we’ll have a bit of a problem with her head moving around in it! It buckles to the shoulder strap with the same style of buckle that’s used on the carrier on the waist and chest strap. And speaking of chest strap, the ABC features a sliding chest strap so it works well with parents {and grandparents, aunts, uncles…} of all sizes!

Be sure to connect with Action Baby Carriers on social media, via Facebook, instagram, and Twitter. You’ll be sure to stay up to date with their sales and new print announcements!

I like that you are comfortably carrying your toddler in this carrier. My oldest is 2.5 years old, in the 80% for height and weight and I still love carrying her around. She loves that in carriers she can snooze : )

I would love to try this out with my daughter. I’ve never actually seen this carrier in person, and would love to know what my local community of baby wearers thought of it, too.Jennifer M recently posted…$200 Gift Card for Toysrus Giveaway Ends 11/19

wow the action baby carriers are truely a must buy! i love that the hood can be straped unlike those that just put on the head, at least if my baby is on this his head would not be bent backwards if sleeping.

Its amazing how a toddler can fit in a carrier I really do love this I have had carriers a lot that strain my back and it’s great the action carrier is made for you not to feel no strain or pressure loving this

I love that they make a larger size. My 3 year old still asks to be carried every now and then, if we’re at an all day event or have a long way to walk. Great hood!Olivia recently posted…Lily’s Dreams Upcycled Wool Wrap Review

Really awesome that it’s perfect for toddlers. I’m expecting #2, so I’d be able to use our existing carrier + wrap for our newborn and possibly upgrade to the toddler one for #1.Bianca recently posted…Dressing a cloth diapered little girl

I absolutely love this carrier, it is so cute but looks like it would work wonderful for our older toddlers! We are about to have 4 ages 4 and under so we def. think it is time to invest in a toddler carrier to help tote them all around! Thanks for the review

I’ve got a chevron addiction myself!! Our girl has a chevron blanket, chevron diaper, chevron ring sling…our living room has a chevron rug, I have a chevron dress and phone case…even my hospital gown was chevron…but when I ordered my Action carrier (due to arrive any day now), I forced myself to go with something different, so I went with Cadence…still, I LOVE this one too!Randi S recently posted…Winter Babywearing with Kowalli {A Natural Bump & Baby Giveaway}
